"Alien" by Carla Forte

​Sunday, 10/13 @ 1:00PM

In 2024, O Cinema ANYWHERE features "Alien" by Carla Forte, a collection of 21 AR video portraits documenting the important role of Latinas in our community. The works are planned for installation along Phase 1 of Miami's Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination that transforms the land below Miami's Metrorail into a vibrant cultural landmark.⁠
⁠
In September, award-winning prolific filmmaker Carla Forte released Miki Maniaco, a dark, twisted vision of exile, celebrity, and South Florida and was named Best Film Director in 2023 by Miami New Times. She is a Venezuelan-born multidisciplinary artist based in Miami and an active member of Bistoury Physical Theater and Film, a non-profit organization whose mission is to carry out research and development while taking aesthetic and physical risks that break the pre-established boundaries between dance, theater, and film. Forte's project "Alien" involves identifying 21 Latinas from varying backgrounds and interviewing them about their migrations to Florida and their experiences living here. Breaking ground as a living, interactive, historical, and interpretive document, each portrait will be made accessible to the public via QR codes posted at different locations along the Underline.⁠
